Turkey's First Indigenous TurboShaft Engine 'TS1400' Prototype Successfully Tested

[cabatli_53]

we have official confirmation that in 3 years (2021) TS1400 engine will be ready to be integrated on T-625 helicopter.

We have yet to have any information on engine pictured here

might be
-Turboprop and turbofan engines for bigger drone projects

You’re right bro. It must be Turbofan engine that turboprop variant (550hp) will be used on Akinci strategic drones. Turbofan will also power up MIUS jet powered stealth drone.

Atak-II(6ton) new generation attack helicopter and T-625(6ton) military/civilian utility helicopters will be powered by domestic TS-1400.
Later, Hürkuş turboprop trainer and Akinci HALE(5 ton) drones will use core of TS-1400 engine.

Atak-II will use GE T-700 engines which are produced in Turkey. 1400hp engine underpowered for

Or perhaps Turbojet engine similar to TR50 ?

Only if Atak-2 weigh 8ton class bro. Kotil and Demir gave different weight figures for Atak-2.

Feels quite , was expecting more noise

What are the ways to improve the thrust to weight ratio? Isn't that the key challenge?

First member of KTJ family turbojet engine called KTJ-3200 test revealed. It is going to power up mainly cruise missile and anti-ship missile programs. Other members of KTJ will be used for heavier platforms.

I am not expert bro but I think It is about combustion chamber. Increasing the pressure at internal combustion, feeding the mechanism with more O2 along with more fuel make gas turbine to provide more thrust around limits ofmdeveloped materials but It sacrifices more fuel which causes to loose endurance.

We can see from the pictures that ATAK-II will be similar in class-weight to ATAK-I. The weapons load is basically the same. I would say this, till new information arises, ATAK-II is just further indigenisation of ATAK-I. All critical foreign components that can be held back by foreign suppliers removed and replaced with Turkish components.
